Sex & the City Meets Satay and San Pedro at Casa Picasso

Some ladies of San Pedro put on their finest (for me a pair of earrings with coordinated flip flops) and had lunch at Casa Picasso, the much acclaimed restaurant that has recently re-opened under new management. The theme was “Sex and the City-ish” and the food was divine. It even looked like Messrs. Manolo and Louboutin were in town. Nice shoes, Carrie! (Not Bradshaw…Carrie O’Farrell!)

The place opened special for us. Usually open between 5.30pm to 10ish, they do dinner only. And they have a ridiculously good martini menu. A great place to just stop by for a cocktail or two with or without dinner. And definitely on my list for Best Romantic Restaurant in San Pedro. Bring a first date here for a martini, I promise you, she or he will be very impressed. I mean shucks, I would be super impressed.

Now “ladies that lunch” – strike a pose.

Helda thanking everyone for coming and the staff for doing such a great job.

We had 2-4 choices for each part of the meal…appetizer, soup/salad, entree and dessert. All were pretty damn good.

I started with the chicken satays with creamy peanut sauce.

And some delicious noodle entree.

And the best part? Banana fried wontons with vanilla ice cream.

I heard a whisper while we were leaving that they are going to start having live music in the cute outside garden area. Great idea.

We all left full, a bit hoarse from so much yapping and with only one suggestion…Casa Picasso, do you think you can get Pinot Grigio on tap?

That dessert was divine. I hope someone was picking up my first date hint…anyone?

About Me

My name’s Rebecca and over eight years ago (!) I moved from Manhattan, NYC (where I worked as a bond trader at Lehman Brothers) to San Pedro, Belize. Holy crap, what a change. I spent a full year deciding if Belize was right for me, over 3 years managing a sometimes gritty bar & restaurant and now over 3 years travelling, living and writing this blog. As you can imagine, I’ve seen the good, awesome, bad and the ugly (though not often). I’ve got lots to say and so here’s my website and my daily blog.

I originally set out to show you all sides of life on the island of Ambergris Caye and now it’s time to expand to the amazing country of Belize. So much to see in one tiny country.

For more information on how and why I moved here, an estimate of how much it costs to live in San Pedro and advice about packing and planning, check out my post series about my expat life.
